It surely gives a man a pain in Iowa, to have it rain, there ain't a state in all the west can splash the mud upon your vest and roll the mire on the wheels like Iowa, a feller feels like sittin' down and cussing those highways out where the tall corn grows. When we had crossed the Mississippi, our car began to slide and slip, the mire smeared our face and chins, in that state where the mud begins. When the weather's dry there ain't no state where you can hit a faster gait, the corn is fine and farmers will, when that McNary- Haugen bill is passed, have money in the bank, but right now their highways are rank. Sary Jane says, "We could of went clear down to Carlo 6n cement, next time we take a trip for joy, let's stay home in Illinois." I never answered her appeal, but sat and fought that steering wheel, it surely is quite a trick to drive a car when mud is so thick, one time you're here and then you're there, you miss the ditches by a hair. You slide around the road and skid and wonder why on earth you did that you deserve such punishment, and why they don't pave with cement. If it should be my happy fate to git clear out of this here state I never will come back again, especially not in tile rain! - . I saw a man kiss my i EQs handsome head was pressed close ! to hers. His fingers strayed through > her silken locks. Her dainty head : rested upon his broad massive shoull der. Her arms clung about his neck lovingly. And still I was not jealous, for we stood alone before a mirror. 0. W. KLONTZ, M. B.

Another One: That's nothing; out where I live the corn grows so fast that we have to keep two men at the base of each stalk to chop off the ears as they go by, and one day one of the fellows missed the ear and it caught under his belt. By heck, you won't believe it, but it carried him up so far that we have to shoot dog biscuit up to him with a shotgun to keep him from starving.

Remember old man Proctor ?--about the farm he sold, from Vermont to California he went in search of gold, while on his farm were Garble quarries worth many, many fold. Stay and dig! When everybody's leaving and knocking things at home. Stay and dig! When discontented folks all seem to want to roam, stay and dig! Remember the Pennsylvanian who studied coal and oil, sold out and went to Canada where he began to toil, while the fuel he soueht was left behind ripht underneath the soil. Stay and dig. When all your friends are sour on the good old small home town. Stay and dig! And the things they say about other places makes you wear a. frown. Stay and dig! Remember the Massachusettes lad--a mining engineer, who sold bis farm, went out West, and then did disappear. While his successor came upon a Mock of silver clear--stay and dig! If you sold out your businfess to go where riches are you'd find someone would come right in and profit more by far; so stick right to your wheel, old top, and make your business big by using the simple formula of DIG and DIG and DIG.
